Lacy Wristers Pattern

Ta da!! :) After a spurt of creative energy, my very first pattern has been written! It's nothing spectacular, but everybody's gotta start somewhere. ;) I'm going to be posting the pattern here on the blog, but for the convenience of any Ravelry users out there, you can also get a free PDF download here. Enjoy guys, and I welcome any questions or comments!

Lacy Wristers

By Kaity Harding

I’ve found lots of free patterns for wristers/cuffs/fingerless gloves online since I’ve been crocheting, but many of them are either bulky looking (and not very attractive), or completely insubstantial and not warm at all (made completely of openwork). I wanted something in between that had a lighter feel to them but would also cover the wrists completely. And so these cute little wristers fell off my hook. They’re fast and simple, and I hope you enjoy them!

Sizes: One size fits all. However, if you have particularly large/tiny wrists, you can add sets of Rows 4-6 until you reach your desired length.

Yarn: I used Lion Brand® Babysoft® in Cream, but any sport weight (#3) yarn should do.

2 – ch 3, skip some space, then sc in even intervals down the side of the work (about 15-17 “loops”). These should look the same as the loops you’ve already done in step 1.

3 – Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you’ve created an edge around the entire work. On the last loop, slst into the row instead of sc, then FO and weave in ends.

Sew on buttons on opposite side of work from the buttonholes (it doesn’t particularly matter whether you sew them on the “wrong” or “right” side of the work, it’s impossible to tell which is which), making sure the space between buttons matches the buttonholes, like so:

Sure thing Jackie! Typically for most crochet patterns, any number in parentheses at the end of a set of directions indicates how many stitches you should have at the end of that row or round. So in this instance, at the end of row 1, you should have 21 stitches. Since there are no changes in stitch number for the remainder of the pattern, I didn't repeat myself by writing "(21)" at the end of every row, but for patterns that DO increase or decrease in the row/round, you may see a new number indicating how many stitches you should have as you go along. Hope that helps! :)

Hi,How do I find someone to write a simple crochet pattern from a photo? The wrist warmer owners do not have the pattern or know where to look. I love these warmers and I am willing for someone o write the pattern for me. At a cost, I realize. I have searches the net and can not find a pattern like it. They are very open and lacy looking and a better weight for us southern ladies. I would like to make these for my family as with loss of job, handmade gifts are in.Thank you for any replies in advance.Tana tasammons@bellsouth.net
